Thomas Salmon

Thomas Salmon (1647-1706) is remembered today for the fury with which Matthew Locke greeted his first foray into musical writing, the ”Essay to the Advancement of Musick” (1672), and the near-farcical level to which the subsequent pamphlet dispute quickly descended. This volume is a scholarly edition of Salmon's writings on notation.
